Default Tired of too easy steering.

Need to improve my steering feel in a RX350 2009. Would 20 inch tires help? Thanks, Greg

Welcome to ClubLexus.

Which tires are you running and at what PSI are they inflated to? Will help in the conversation. Different tires will have different handling characteristics than others.

While you are waiting for others to comment, please take a moment to perform a search in the forums and read up on some of the threads already posted by others who have upgraded their tire and wheel packages.

At least it is not the 2010 with the new electric-assist power steering system.

Is there a way to reduce the amount of power assist?

Lexus is known for how smooth there steering feel is. It's one of the reasons I bought a Lexus.

There isn't much you can do about it. Except for tires.

You can mess with the tires but you will effect the ride and handling much more than the steering by doing so.
